<quoted text>All thanks to the Obama Administration. Republicans argued to slash funding to help American war veterans. In fact, republicans betrayed all of our U S veterans by defeating President Obama's Veterans with Disabilities Act."Forty Republican members of the United States Senate betrayed veterans today when they decided that denying President Obama a victory was more important than spending $1 billion to create jobs for vets.The Veterans Job Corps Act of 2012 would have spent $1 billion over five years to put veterans to work tending to federal lands, and in the nation’s police and fire departments. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) based her plan of FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), but Republicans opposed the bill because they said there is no proof that it would work.Republican Sen. Tom Coburn claimed that there is no evidence that jobs for vets will work,“What we have is a bill that’s brought to the floor that has good intentions behind but shows the absolute laziness of congress in terms of really digging things out. issued their duplication report on the job training programs for veterans, four of them do exactly the same thing. None of them have a metric. So we don’t know if they’re working, and we haven’t held a hearing to find out if they’re working. But what are we doing?”It doesn’t matter to most Senate Republicans that the CCC put 2.5 million people to work. When confronted with an actual jobs program for America’s vets, including the 220,000 who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, the majority of Republicans claimed the plan, which was already offset, was too expensive.

Major Solheim is still on active duty and participated with President George W. Bush in a bicycle marathon this weekend.

Unlike Obama who uses troops as lawn jockeys and stage props, President George W. Bush bonds strongly with the soldiers.

It must be a sick world you tea baggers live in when the best you can come up with is "free stuff" in every post. When in fact it is YOU who is fighting not to share the "free stuff" with Health care, being old white has-been's you want medicare just for you. In the top ten worlds rich list more than half are democratic minded and give away lots of "free stuff" you are just pi$$ed off it's not coming your way. GOP = GREEDY OLD PESSIMISTS

<quoted text>here's another stat for you: do you want to pay for these drug addicted morons? "Experts say most of those prescriptions are unnecessary. The United States makes up only 4.6 percent of the world's population, but consumes 80 percent of its opioids -- and 99 percent of the world's hydrocodone, the opiate that is in Vicodin."http://abcnews.go.com/US/prescription-painkil...Opioids are essentially legal heroine-O'bama better keep that war going in Afghanistan so he can continue to feed his people on O'bamacare.Ever wonder why insurance costs so much? because of the people-the people in the United States are druggies-sick, infected, mental case druggies.

Galt agrees that many Americans, particularly senior citizens, are over-medicated.

As opposed to bushie boy who gave up golf for a while because he was having a bad time, but claiming it was to show support for the boys he was killing?

Maybe that's why he was cycling? To show support for the troops Obamna is bringing home.

Last I heard, 26 states have already opted out. That's more than half if true.

<quoted text> Recycling per se seems like a no brainer good, but not if it still degrades the environment by polluting the Earth . Take[McDonough &Braungart in "Cradle to Cradle"] the authors’ analysis of recycling. Recycling is good, right? In fact, they say, it is often very, very bad. For example, recycling plastic bottles into that groovy fleece jacket means bringing toxic antimony into contact with your skin. Oops. Or how about being more efficient? We know that’s always good, don’t we? Um, actually, no:“Being less bad is not being good,” McDonough told the National Press Club last spring.“If you want to go to Mexico, and you’re driving toward Canada, even if you slow down you’re still going to Canada.” Better design and no growth must be part of the new metric too.

No technology exists that will remove all energy footprints. Period. Start from there.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed(First Law).

Lithium-Ion batteries are made from Aluminum and Lithium both of which are mined, purified and shipped across oceans and continents. The entire process from ground to your i-Pod is extremely energy-intensive. So, too, will be the recycling of the waste after its lifespan is expended.

This is but ONE example of many thousands. Solar Panels, the same thing - Silicon, Rare Earth Metals, Mining, purification, EOL disposal, etc...

yea.you tell em porchboy..facts are what obama tells us they are .they don't need to be true for us democrates to believe them.I'll never get why them republicans want the truth and proof when all that's needed is the words of obama.

<quoted text>lol!!!! Riiiight.... the guy who tells on group of people he doesn't care for 47% Americans, then changes his mind when he's called out on it and changes the claim to 100%.And if bushie boy was really that good, he should have helped McCain AND Romney do what you claim.Instead, he runs and hides instead and the GOP doesn't want him around.Curious how the real world is different from your world.

When kept in context, Romney's statement was absolutely correct, in fact, as it turned out, he low-balled the estimate.Only Democrat ex-presidents like to ham it up in front of a camera, Bush has more class than that.Only ex-Dem presidents

<quoted text>How many Wind Turbines, Solar Panels and Gerbils Running In Cages will it take to run the NY Subway System, Manufacturing Plants and Rooftop Air Conditioners?The entire eastern half of the U.S. Continent.And that's just for NY City on sunny days with good wind...and healthy Gerbils.

Solar power is viable only in the southwestern US.

Wind power is viable in relatively limited areas.

Neither are reliable and both require redundant fossil or nuclear power.

Power cannot be stored in great quantities nor transmitted over long distances.
